Men (late teens/twenties) wearing skinny jeans.

Do people distinguish between slim and skinny fit? I tend to wear slim fit since it fits me best but i do get a fair amount of comments from females. Irish girls in particular seem to take offence I nearly always get ridiculed by at least one girl every night I'm out. It actually surprises me since I do choose slim fit but my clothes are still quiet conservative compared to what younger guys would wear (I'm just 30). I get a lot of my casual and work clothes in Zara or Ted Baker since their clothes fit best hence much of my stuff is dark coloured with a classicial look.

This never happens me in the UK or on the continent and it doesn't seem to bother guys as much. It annoys me since I find it rude and I would probably get lynched if I actually gave an honest opinion on how most girls in Ireland look.

Wear what you like, what you feel looks good on you and what makes you feel comfortable. I wouldn't worry about a bit of banter or slagging from others. If they are being especially negative or critical, it says more about them really. Nothing worse then conforming to mainstream or generic clothes for fear of standing out. You can go out wearing Ben Sherman short sleeved shirts, baggy bootcut jeans and Penneys runners/shoes for the rest of your life and be reassured that no-one will ever comment on what you're wearing but is that what you want?

I'm also just on the other (wrong!!) side of 30 but wear slim jeans mostly but that's because I'm tall and slim and I think it suits my frame better. I do sometimes get comments but they have been complimentary (sure, perhaps others may comment behind my back but that is not something I'm going to worry about). I read one of Paul Galvin's style columns in the Irish Indendent recently and said while he is a champion of skinny jeans, he knew of some guys who loved skinny jeans and would try them on in fitting rooms and like them but not have the guts to buy them for fear of ridicule wearing them in public.

OP - wear what you want to wear but you do need to be comfortable about it. If you're worried about what others think, then you may not be comfortable which defeats the purpose of looking and feeling good.

Interesting comments here.i actually started a similar thread about skinny jeans.i am all for skinny jeans,then again im very skinny and they suit my build cause i have a skinny leg some say its like a matchstick but i wont get into that.

Some say they look to tight,or they should not be worn on me and just for girls.
Well that's a load of nonsense, guys can wear skinny jeans..it does not mean they are part of the hipster crowd.

Might regret saying this but we as a country here are way behind style..men here are still wearing flares for god sake they look RIDICULOUS :mad:

But getting away from the point if they work go for them brov

Might i say Topman are a good place to buy skinny jeans

good luck Mr

The proper mens ones are ok.
Too may people think they can get away with wearing the €9 womens ones from penneys with their asses hanging out gangsta style.
My friend has a couple of pairs from Topman and River Island and they're nice on him

OP it shouldn't matter what other people think as long as you think you look good and feel comfortable. I would pity someone who went around in clothes which they were unsure about or uncomfortable in just to please their partner, or worse just to please strangers passing on the street.

If you're pleasing yourself, go for it.
